1.0 out of 5 stars Just Gruesome, January 9, 2008

By	gentle reader (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I purchased this volume when looking for English translations of Spanish Golden Age Plays for a Comparative Literature course I was designing. These translations are just horrible. Not only is the verse of the Spanish rendered as doggerel in English, but the translations are so off the mark that they change the meaning of dialogue and even alter plot developments! So very, very bad, and sad that this great body of literature is being turned to trash by irresponsible translations and editions.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start when studying old Spanish plays, July 15, 2008

By	Rebecca Wright "theatre grad student" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bentley offers a great reference to old plays from Italy, Spain, and France, and is a good place to start. Yes, the translations may not be the best, but unless you study the language in depth, this is a good translation for generic English use.
